Chapter 57 Don't let the Su family succeed first!
Han Mo stepped into the mansion and saw Mrs. Yang's face as dark as a pot, and then remembered that today he was going to make amends to his master...

After receiving a few stares and having to spend some soft words with him, he was able to return to the room.

The snow had already melted, and the last quarter moon was hanging in the sky, and there was a strange look in the coldness.

He made himself a cup of tea, carried it and walked to the window, then sat cross-legged by the Kang table, took out the lock in his arms and took a closer look.

The lock has been soaked in the bosom for a long time, and it has already gained body temperature. Under the dual illumination of candlelight and moonlight, the orange lock body emits a gentle luster. Whether it is curved or right-angled, its lines are so smooth that it doesn't look like a handmade product. .I have tried its lock and key today. It is a five-spring double control lock. It is amazing to hear that a lock is worth a few hundred taels, but when I get it, I suddenly feel that it is not expensive.

For a home like the Han family, there are of course a few high-quality locks from Tiangongfang. Those locks represent a very high lock-making level of the Su family. Apart from the perfect lock body, its internal components It can be called unique, each lock is unrepeatable, and it is also an orphan without duplication.

Even though he had been presumptuous in front of the Su family not long ago, so far, he still believes that the Su family's accomplishments in the lockway are unmatched.

But today, such a lock appeared out of thin air. It is as unique as the Su family's superior lock, but its maker is not the Su family, but a locksmith of unknown origin...

"My lord, Yang You is back."

Dou Yin and Song Yan both walked in, holding the interrogation records of today's Wu family case that had been sorted out in their hands.

And Yang You followed behind them: "Your Majesty, if you don't inquire, you won't know. When you inquire, it turns out that this 'ghost hand' only appeared in the capital in the past two months. There was no such person before. But after he appeared, The reputation spread immediately, and now he is already a famous craftsman comparable to the 'Heavenly Master' in the merchant circle!"

Han Mo put down the lock: "Since he has such a high skill, why doesn't he make his name public? He is so mysterious, does he have some ulterior identity? Could it be some kind of underdog who changes his name and enters?" After leaving the capital, you plan to take the opportunity to find out the situation, and then wait for the opportunity to commit crimes?"

"I don't know!" Yang You said, "But he can get a few hundred taels of silver for making a lock, which is much faster and safer than Jianghu Xiaoxiao, and he doesn't need to take such a risk! It's Jiang Yang's thief, so he doesn't need to show his tricks in advance to attract attention, and he can just do things in private, isn't it over?"

Of course, Han Mo had to admit this statement, no Jiangyang bandit was stupid enough to show his face in advance.But isn't this strange?Obviously, with such craftsmanship, he can open a shop and make a name for it, and then pass it on like the Su family.But he wanted to hide behind others, calling him a "ghost hand" to take over the job!

Song Yan guessed: "Could it be because the Su family is too famous and worried that they won't be tolerated by the Su family?"

Hearing this, Yang You nodded immediately: "It's not impossible. I was on the way to investigate today, and I heard that the Su family was also inquiring about this person. The Su family relied on their ancestral business to make a fortune, and they have developed to their current reputation and status based on their ancestral business. 'The skills are so exquisite that they will definitely be threatened, so why would they not be willing to be threatened?"

"The Su family also knows about him?" Han Mo raised his eyes.

"Not only do we know, Su Yan, the second master of the Su family, personally appointed someone to search for it. But we should know about it not long ago, otherwise we wouldn't be so anxious to search."

Han Mo frowned: "Still anxious?"

"Isn't it? All their shops inside and outside the city have received news about the 'ghost hand', and they have received a message that once they have a clue, they can go to Su's house to send a message immediately, without waiting for the notification. It can be seen that it is very urgent I'm in a hurry."

When Yang You said this, he thought for a while and said: "Besides, I also heard that Su Shou was bullied by Zuo Yang, the minister of the household department, and asked Mr. Shen Ge to come forward and invite Su Shou to the cabinet. He was talking about the Su family. The structure of the lock delivered to the household department this time is too old, and Zuo Yang, who took over as the handover, is not satisfied. He is still pestering Su Shou these days."

Han Mo heard this, and said, "No wonder Su Yan went to Su's shop in person that day. So, Zuo Yang was not only worried, but also found Su Shou directly."

After a short pause, he continued: "It's just that the Su family has stood proudly in Daliang for decades, and they should have enough confidence. How could they be so at a loss for a locksmith who suddenly appeared? Could it be that the Su family really hasn't stopped all these years?" Before, have they been gnawing at their great-grandfather's legacy?"

Dou Yin and Song Yan looked at each other, and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the Su family have any particularly eye-catching locks in these years. And the copper box a few days ago couldn't be opened, Brother Su Shou seems to be real There is no way. Even if Su Qi took action to solve it later, Su Shou's shock at Su Qi's performance was obvious."

At Su's house that day, Su Shou still couldn't come up with a strategy to unlock the lock, which was really impressive.

Yang You looked at them, and suddenly said: "What will happen if the Su family finds 'Ghost Hand'?"

Dou Yin looked at him: "No matter what the actual situation of the Su family is, with their anxiety in finding the 'ghost hand', it is impossible to allow him to become famous in the capital after they find it. And this person dare not even reveal his real body, so what? Could it be possible to win against the powerful Su family? The most likely result is that the Su family will get this person out of the capital first without anyone knowing about it."

"Isn't that a pity?" Yang You spread his hands, "Such a talented road locker was forced out of the capital and lost his way of life."

"Otherwise, why would I ask you to find someone?"

Han Mo glanced at him, holding the copper lock and turning it in his hand: "Lin Yi refuses to transfer someone to me, and Su Qi can't be used by me, if this 'ghost hand' who is facing the Su family's strife is willing to enter me As a subordinate, he solved his big trouble, and I also got a strong help."

Yang You was stunned.

Song Yan also said: "This is an excellent move! If the son of the world gets this person, he will be even more powerful. But right now, I don't know how to find him?"

Han Mo instructed Yang You: "Go to interrogate Mrs. Sun, find the people who are in contact with her, check them one by one, and those merchants who have found the locks made by ghost hands, also follow the vine. Since he has made so many locks , Even if he doesn't show up, the person who connects will leave traces, I don't believe that he can do it without leaking.

"In addition, the Su family is also keeping an eye on them. They know a lot of people in the lockway. They may have clues. We must not let them get there first."

In addition to cherishing talents, that dead girl of the Su family tried every means to obstruct Su Qi from being his right-hand man. The Su family's scheme succeeded, so what's the deal? !
